Mine has sent me a Christmas card 🙄 No contact since September (we met up to try and talk things over) then this appears this morning. It’s like he’s trying to still be present in my life. It’s just thrown me off completely as I was trying to get my head in the space of enjoying Christmas with my family and taking care of myself as I struggle this time of year. Bloody men!!!

Someone I knew sent my daughter a Christmas card yesterday. He has never even met her so I’m taking it as a dig of some sort as he didn’t include my name.

I really feel for you in your situation!! I hope you’re ok! I’ve tried to make my own thread about a problem I’m having but it isn’t giving me the option. I was in a year and a half relationship with a guy. I always trusted him but I think I was too trusting. I’ve been very unwell for a long time now and for all of January 2020 and February 2020 I was in hospital but late February I found out my boyfriend had cheated on me ( he’s my ex now obviously) it really broke me because he didn’t even feel bad about it and he told me the reason was cause my illness had me look unattractive and he felt he was settling for less . I told him I couldn’t be with him anymore and I was so upset even saying that to him but I think he thought I’d forgive him and he didn’t like the fact that I was standing up for myself so he told me he had been in a secret 4 month relationship with another girl and that he didn’t care that I didn’t want to be with him anymore cause he had her. He told me her name and was bragging about it and I believed what he was saying cause they followed eachother on Instagram so I was even more hurt again. I couldn’t stop thinking about it it was coming between me and my sleep that this girl isn’t even aware he’s been messing us both about so in the moment I decided to message her to let her know what was going on. It was as nice as message as could be but I don’t think she took it the right away unfortunately so she told my ex about it and of course he denied everything and immediately messaged me. He put me down , slagged me off and basically told me that he and this new girl where happy together , he finds her more attractive and that she wasn’t a burden that she had good health something I’d never have. I disappeared off social media for a while cause I was so hurt and depressed over everything. I then realised he had made the whole thing up about dating her just to hurt me. 2 months later I messaged the girl again saying I’m sorry if you felt I got you involved in that situation the last thing I wanted to do was make it seem I had an issue with you and I hope you can see where I was coming from at the time. Thankfully she replied and was nice and I felt a lot better after that conversation cause she listened to what I had to say. I was able to move on properly then but a couple months later I got a message from my ex asking me would I be able to message some girl for him and tell her I’m his friend and that he’s a good guy to date. I didn’t reply and just blocked him . He went on a date with some random girl and told her about a scar I have from one of my surgeries and how he found it disgusting to look at. She was able to find out my name from during conversation which led her to finding my Instagram where she messaged me and told me what he had been saying and that she wanted me to be aware cause she felt uncomfortable him degrading me like that . More time went by I have been in and out of hospital and focusing on myself but recently I received a phone call off a random number it turned out to be my ex and he told me how he and the girl he pretended to be in a relationship with are now best friends and that that they both think I’m crazy , a psycho and both are normal as they aren’t always sick every 5 minutes. I’m 21 and I know the fact 10 months later this still hurts me may be ridiculous but I just don’t know what the right thing to do is. I can’t message the girl again even though I want to defend myself but I’ll look obsessed and crazy and he seems to be able to fool everyone into thinking he’s innocent when I’ve been put through so much by him. I feel so lost and it’s hard to focus on things fully cause I feel like he’s got away with it all. I’m also so unwell to the point I don’t know what my future is looking like or if I even have one and I feel so many things have been left so messy it’s ruined my mental health more than anyone could ever know. His last message to me ever was him telling me the relationship wasn’t real to him nothing he felt was real. What would anyone else do in this situation?

This guy is an absolute lunatic!! He’s making up lies, still talking about you to random people months down the line and generally behaving in a really strange way. Perhaps he’s bitter you told him where to go and is now he’ll bent on revenge, I don’t know but this isn’t normal ‘post relationship’ behaviour. It’s harassment and bullying.
Block any contact, make all your social media private and don’t accept people you don’t know or with new profiles. If he manages to get through, tell him this is his only warning and if he contacts you again or continues to talk about you to people you will report him for harassment and slander.

The sad thing is for someone to of been in my life for that long to happily badmouth me to anyone was shocking especially as he cheated on me. He is a lunatic and an incredible actor for the amount of people he’s fooled. He’s reversed the whole thing around to make people think I’m the lunatic which hurt me the most. I get when people say you shouldn’t care what strangers think of you but when it’s being rubbed in your face it’s hard. I don’t know why he keeps talking about me it’s very odd maybe like you said he wants revenge cause I finally stood up for myself for once. I feel it’s harassment too and I’ve no idea how nobody else has seen through him yet. I made sure I’ve blocked him and his friends on everything , my social media is private I hardly use it which has helped. That’s a good point a random profile could be stalking me which is him. If he ever contacts me again I’ll be telling him I’ll report him for harassment and slander cause the fact I resorted to coming onto Tattle to talk about it for some advice shows it’s been a lot to deal with. I really appreciate your reply btw.

As others have said, he sounds like an hole and you’re lucky to be rid of him to be honest. I have seen some comments you have made on another thread and I do think this guy has clouded your judgment of men. Not all men are like this, not all men cheat and lie and go behind their partner’s back. There are good men out there.

firstly you just need to work on your self worth, if you don’t respect yourself and set expectations for how you want people to treat you, then you will end up with another man like this one. You need to forget about him and move on, he’s a waste of space, don’t let any man treat you the way that one did, it’s not acceptable.

please don’t ever go back to him. I was with a pretty crappy guy for almost year, he didn’t cheat, but he just didn’t allow time for me. Eventually I said no more and I got rid. I’ve now been with my current partner for almost six years. He is amazing, he would never cheat or flirt behind my back, he does his fair share and he’s kind.

be good to yourself, set aspirations of the type of man you want, don’t settle for arseholes!

He truly sounds the lowest of the low. A despicable person for what he's said and done to you.

Yes as others have said, block him,on everything, change your phone number if he keeps popping up on different numbers/withheld. Make it impossible for him to ever reach you again.

Then concentrate on building yourself back up, surround yourself with people you love, do the things that make you happy, take extra care of yourself and really look after you like you are the most important person in the world.. Elevate yourself so God damn high that you never even think of this low life again.

I think in many many break ups two sides of the tale gets told, yes his side is a disgusting lie but you can't change what comes out of his mouth. Rise above it and walk away from it. The people you know and love know what's really happened and you just have to let go of anyone else. Holding on to worry about this is just preventing you from moving forward.

If you feel like you are struggling to process it all and move forward councelling might be an option. I struggled to process my break up and had about 6 sessions with a therapist but it changed my outlook dramatically and made my brain able to process and understand what happened better and allowed me to 'un blame' myself for things he had projected onto me etc

I hope that all makes sense, I've just woke up haha but I couldn't scroll past and not reply. Sending you love 😘

Wow! Thats is absolutely vile and I am so sorry someone could say some truly nasty things to you.

I havr had an ex comment on every part of me, my appearance, my weight, my family, my friends, my job, my social life... everything! And it is a way to control and hurt you, I think half the time he says the stuff he does because he wants me to bite and react and start messaging him to defend myself but instead i just let it go over my head, not saying it doesn't affect me because it does but those people are just not worth thinking about for a second longer... Block, ignore, move on. If some comments he has said do manage to get back to you just brush them off as best you can, you are better away from someone like that. Some other poor girls are getting his tit now x

I think that’s the hardest thing to get over sometimes . My ex fed me so much tit when I think about it now , telling me he’s lost without me , would never risk loosing me again etc , cuddling in bed the night before it ended ? I’m over 2 weeks into my breakup now & im doing a lot better , I’m sleeping again & my appetite is slowly coming back . I still hate myself for missing him though . Plus I’ve gone into stalker mode & seeing he’s already commenting sleazy things on other women’s Facebook pictures 🤮. This just makes me feel he never really gave a tit about me and my kids . You ask yourself “I wonder if he misses me” “does he think about me”? . I have good & bad days now , I’m going to stop checking Facebook , in fact I’ve blocked him now so I can’t see what he’s liking etc as this just gave me rage !!!!!!! . I feel stupid for picking such a wrongun & I know the man I did love actually never existed he was just a good actor . I want xmas to be over now & fresh new year . I think men as much as it’s nice to have one around can cause so much stress is it actually worth it . Maybe there is a mr right out there for me but I’m in no rush . Only thing I’d quite like right now is for him to get hit by a bus 😂. I’ve always considered myself a strong independent woman , think I feel more of an idiot than anything .

Block , ignore , stay off social media , try to forget about him , he sounds awful . The more I read these threads the more I realise some men really are vile & selfish . Let some other poor bugger have him , that’s my attitude now . I’m free

My ex must have been on the drink yesterday because I have just noticed a message request on Instagram which is him on a fake profile.. calling me really disgusting things, telling me he hopes my boyfriend and I drop dead, that i should have died instead of my sister, that everyone hates me blah blah... heard it all before so it is fine but it just drums it in to me how lucky I was to get away from such toxic, nasty behaviour. This is the person I saw for a little while after the long term relationship and just goes to prove a point, do not jump into just any old relationship because you miss your ex, work on yourself, get into a good place mentally.. Biggest mistake I made! xx

How awful. You are on his mind obviously and he just wants to provoke a reaction because any communication is better than non to a person so toxic. Silence is by far the best come back from you 😉😘

It showed me you can know someone for a long time but you might not actually know the real them. Thank you for reminding me I really need to change my number ASAP.

That’s all I can do is focus on myself and the people who are genuine and make me feel good as well things that I enjoy doing cause I hate that I’ve allowed my mind to be constantly thinking about it all when I know it doesn’t bother him at all.

As long as I know I’m being completely honest and people who love me know it too thats what should matter most to me. I guess there was a part of me thinking now he’s close to this other girl and she knows about his life and I’m not part of it anymore when I was the girl he was close to for a much longer time. He cheated and called me all the names under the sun but I still found it hard to accept he doesn’t care about me anymore.

Thank you I never even thought about that maybe counseling after Christmas might be an option for me I’ll look into it cause I’m worried about my mental health I don’t feel like myself sometimes. It’s so good to hear the therapy helped you and I’m sorry that you went through all that blaming yourself for things that weren’t your fault. I hope you’re doing better now. Thank you for replying and giving that advice because I’ve found it really hard. Sending you love too ♥.

Wow! Thats is absolutely vile and I am so sorry someone could say some truly nasty things to you.

I havr had an ex comment on every part of me, my appearance, my weight, my family, my friends, my job, my social life... everything! And it is a way to control and hurt you, I think half the time he says the stuff he does because he wants me to bite and react and start messaging him to defend myself but instead i just let it go over my head, not saying it doesn't affect me because it does but those people are just not worth thinking about for a second longer... Block, ignore, move on. If some comments he has said do manage to get back to you just brush them off as best you can, you are better away from someone like that. Some other poor girls are getting his tit now x
I’m grateful for your response so thank you for that. I’m so sorry your ex was like I don’t understand how anyone can speak to someone like that without even feeling bad. You didn’t deserve any of that. I regret messaging that girl now even though at the time it felt right but the fact she didn’t listen to me I felt like an idiot and maybe sometimes you are better letting things go over your head and not addressing them.
You’re right it does hurt but you have to find a way to not let it control your life which is something I found difficult to do. I think it’s got to the point he is like a stranger to me I don’t recognise this nasty person. He wasn’t there for me when I needed him the most.I feel sorry for any poor girl who gets him next cause if he fooled me he could fool anyone x

I think that’s the hardest thing to get over sometimes . My ex fed me so much tit when I think about it now , telling me he’s lost without me , would never risk loosing me again etc , cuddling in bed the night before it ended ? I’m over 2 weeks into my breakup now & im doing a lot better , I’m sleeping again & my appetite is slowly coming back . I still hate myself for missing him though . Plus I’ve gone into stalker mode & seeing he’s already commenting sleazy things on other women’s Facebook pictures 🤮. This just makes me feel he never really gave a tit about me and my kids . You ask yourself “I wonder if he misses me” “does he think about me”? . I have good & bad days now , I’m going to stop checking Facebook , in fact I’ve blocked him now so I can’t see what he’s liking etc as this just gave me rage !!!!!!! . I feel stupid for picking such a wrongun & I know the man I did love actually never existed he was just a good actor . I want xmas to be over now & fresh new year . I think men as much as it’s nice to have one around can cause so much stress is it actually worth it . Maybe there is a mr right out there for me but I’m in no rush . Only thing I’d quite like right now is for him to get hit by a bus 😂. I’ve always considered myself a strong independent woman , think I feel more of an idiot than anything .
I’m so sorry you have had to deal with all that I hope your mental health has improved. That messed me up too cause he fed me so much lies that I believed and for him to turn around and do the things he did it messed with my head. I have good days and bad days still but I know I’m never going to get an apology from him and it’s too late for one anyway it wouldn’t mean anything to me now. I don’t miss him in a loving way I wouldn’t want him back but I think I’m more hurt than anything someone could do that to me.
To hear him say things like “she’s crazy , she’s a psycho , we broke up a long time ago she won’t accept it, I barely even know her, she’s lying and she’s scaring me ” all this coming out of his mouth just because I got upset he cheated on me and told him where to go. Some people are so clever and able to play the victim and pass blame onto someone else. Your ex sounds disgusting they always move on so quick I’ve no idea what goes on inside their heads.
I want to focus on the new year too and hopefully it’ll be a better one for all of us.
Whether you’re on your own or with someone as long as you’re good mentally is what is important so make sure you look after your mind.
Don’t worry I’m sure we’ve all had that thought now and again haha.
I might not know you but you are a strong and independent woman you’ve just gone through a painful time so don’t call yourself an idiot cause if anything I admire your attitude.

My ex must have been on the drink yesterday because I have just noticed a message request on Instagram which is him on a fake profile.. calling me really disgusting things, telling me he hopes my boyfriend and I drop dead, that i should have died instead of my sister, that everyone hates me blah blah... heard it all before so it is fine but it just drums it in to me how lucky I was to get away from such toxic, nasty behaviour. This is the person I saw for a little while after the long term relationship and just goes to prove a point, do not jump into just any old relationship because you miss your ex, work on yourself, get into a good place mentally.. Biggest mistake I made! xx
He needs some seriously help if he’s going to be spending him messaging you abuse like that. Don’t take any of the things he’s saying to heart he’s clearly just out to hurt you wow I feel your pain. Maybe we’re all lucky to be shown someone’s true colours before we’re in too deep. The last thing I could even think of right now is dating again so I agree you have to focus on yourself and actually feel happy. I hope you’re ok xx

We will be fine girls , I genuinely think women are much stronger emotionally than men , that’s why we process a breakup properly & they seem to move on quicker but that’s because men can’t be on their own , constantly need their ego feeding & sex on tap . They move on for a distraction rather than deal with their emotions . A year from now I hope we are still on this thread laughing about how we were all feeling and how different life is

If you think being in a relationship is more stress than it’s worth, then you’ve never been in a relationship with a decent guy. You will find one, there are plenty out there. :)

How awful. You are on his mind obviously and he just wants to provoke a reaction because any communication is better than non to a person so toxic. Silence is by far the best come back from you 😉😘
Thank you hun. I know he tries to say the nastiest of stuff to get a reaction from me and sometimes it takes so much strength to just not respond but I know if I do it’s what he wants! He is a narcissist though. I mean if you think so badly and so little of me why are you still watching my every move on social media, surely you’d just move on? :oops:

I’ve took a step back this week and been self-sabotaging 😣 I ended up looking at my ex on SM and seen that a girl has followed him and has been liking a few of his posts. I hadn’t looked him up for months and I felt strong, but my depression has been bad this week and I don’t know, I just looked. Now I’m hurt to think he’s moved on, and I’m here ‘alone’. I know I shouldn’t care and I know I’m wasting my valuable time looking him up but I think we’re all guilty of it? I just want to get over him!!!

eta: he actually text me and said ‘I’ve moved on’ really out of the blue. I deleted the text and blocked his number straight away. But that set off my already depressed mood to look him up.

You need some major distractions and you need them now! If you're a reader, start the book you always meant to read. Or watch something absolutely gripping on Netflix. I recommend Upload. Stay away from Social Media. Write a letter to future self, saying how you are currently feeling then seal it and don't open it until this time next year. You'll get there. Be kind to yourself.
